In the UK and other countries theres a shortage of PSP consoles being reported and not only that but the Ceramic White PSP still hasnt shown its face and for those parents or indeed anyone trying to buy a PSP it seems the market price has shot up and it seems that stores or the suppliers to the stores are bumping the prices up to make sure that the public pay a premium.
Heres a list of stores, the location and pricing so you can compare yourself:
PSP Tree - UK - Value Pack - £249
Divineo Sweden - Sweden - Standard Pack - 2290kr
Divineo Italy - Italy - Value Pack - 224.99 €
Divineo Germany - Germany - Value Pack - 269.99 €
Divineo France - France - Value Pack - 299.99 €
Divineo UK - UK - PSP Pack + 1 Gig Stick + USB Cable - £229.95
Divineo Spain - Spain - Value Pack - 249.95 €
Divineo China - China - PSP Console Regular Pack - $ 229.95
Lik Sang - HK - Sony PSP Standard Pack - $ 229.95
Success HK - Standard Pack $219
NeoDiscs - UK - Value Pack - £179.99
So looking at the worldwide shops above it seems that on price alone before shipping etc that Success HK is the very best shop with a price of $219 or £120 in UK Money, the best UK store is Divineo UK with a high price of £229 but you do get a 1gb Memory Stick, finally on mainland europe the prices vary quite a bit with Divineo Italy being the cheapest on 224.99 €.
Thats only a few stores but im only putting reputable ones in my mini report but the difference in prices is staggering, if you or the person you are buying for isnt bothered about UMD Films then Importing from Hong Kong could be the best option?

2 days ago we gave some psp3d members a nandwritter tool with an inclueded nand to flash with for testing purposes since we couldn't afford to brick any more psp, we created it all and it indeed comes from us, the deal was that they test it and if it did work they would post the final version as an exclusive on their website.
they bricked a psp (so it doesn't work) , now they claim it downgrade any "virgin" psp to 1.00
They even supplied the nand binary we provided they don't seem to care if it's copyrighted content!!!! (you can know it's from me, just hex edit it and search for my username (Mathieulh) also you will notice that there are not only english texts inside it, it means it comes from an 1.50 psp)....
(to be more specific it comes from my own 1.50 European psp with changed backgrouds using the debug unit backgrouds (the same as the ones in the bogus update...))
However it's IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to downgrade to 1.00 using the provided nand since it's a 1.50 nand!!
Let me now explain how the tool works.
It flashes the WHOLE nand data into your psp, whether your psp is "virgin" or not, should'nt matter.
We allready tried to write the nand using page writting, however it failed and bricked one of our own psp, the tool they leaked (since it's a beta and a potential psp bricker and that we never allowed them to release that version, the deal was to test it, ) was meant to preform a block writting and had high chances to work.
Using it will brick your psp for sure!
Also know that psp3d did nothing to create this program! On their website they claim that we both created it.... They don't even own the sources or the nand dumper !! (we can post them if you don't believe us) they didn't manage to use an undocumented and tricky API such as scenand, didn't discover how to remove the nand writting protection, how to dump the nand, etc etc.....
In fact they didn't code a thing and were here only for test purposes, next time we will just create a testing section on the forums here....
By the way it didn't remove the region coding either, howver if it worked it would have switch the psp to region 2.
And again, no there was no way it could have downgraded to 1.00 since we don't even own a 1.00 nand yet !! (and neither did them since they don't know how to dump it)
And yes we know where the region is located, but since we didin't figure out how to write on the nand correctly we don't know how to create a region changer yet.
We would need more people to test, or a psp with hardware access to the nand chip with something such as a jtag device, and yes we think (we are very confident in that point) that we know how to create hybrid firmwares, but we don't have thousands psp to brick....
If we don't find other testers I am affraid we wont be able to continue our work regarding the nand flasher.
In fact I might share a nand for educational purposes, I am still thinking about it.
So if you follow the scene closely youll have noticed news about the 1.50 to 1.0 dowgrader but for now avoid it, this site doesnt want you to brick a PSP just because others want a quick news story

News From Lik Sang
When introducing Pro Evolution Soccer 5, the European version of Winning Eleven 9, we'd write it's "arguably the greatest soccer videogame of all time", but looking around, there's little argument  Thierry Henry from Arsenal and John Terry from Chelsea are both big fans themselves, and grace the cover of what is the greatest soccer videogame of all time.
In stock now as part of our new European range of PSP games, all pre-orders are getting processed as these lines are written. New orders are welcome anytime, will be on their way within just 24 hours, and of course as you'd expect from Lik-Sang, ship free worldwide. For those who were holding out buying Winning Eleven 9 for an English version, before you know it you’ll be kicking off on your PSP with the full quality of the PS2 release. In fact Japan's Famitsu magazine even gave the Japanese PSP edition an incredible 36/40, one upping the PS2 release which received a 35/40 score.
 
One of the biggest features in PES 5 is in the way the players have been reworked to move more realistically than ever, and more animation means the control is more refined and demands greater accuracy. Passes must be weighted properly and shots taken carefully - not snatched at while running or having just turned on the spot. The sweetest of goals will now feel even more so, but to keep you up to speed, the training mode has been extended and rewards efforts with points used to unlock secrets.
We welcome the addition of new tricks as well, such as trademark moves like Ronaldinho's 'flipflap'. Beyond that you can make use of Wing Back and Second Top positions this time, enjoy weather effects like rain and snow, then take footie fever to four new stadiums, Mestella - Valencia (Spain), Riazor - Deportivo la Coruna (Spain), Newlands - Ajax Cape Town (South Africa) and Saitama - Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan).
Furthermore, the game lets two players battle it out with full wireless multi-player action, and all stats from each match such as goals for and against, wins and losses etc are tallied up and saved, giving proof to your star player's bragging rights. Linking up to the PS2 edition of PES 5, you can also transfer teams and other saved data between versions. Then for those solo matches, you can perfect your skills within six different leagues and a host of cup tournaments. Licenses for Arsenal, Chelsea, FC Porto, Dinamo Kiev, Galatasaray and the Rangers found their way into this magnificent soccer gem, filling up 57 national sides, and 136 club teams.
Lastly the Master League mode that lets you guide a lowly team to glory now allows player-managers to monitor individual team members and see when their health declines, again adding depth to the title. Players that you create yourself also have more factors determining skill and ability.
To be able to play virtual football whereever you have some spare time has long been the dream of many a fan, but now with Pro Evolution Soccer 5, a console quality soccer sim is at your very finger tips.

Lik Sang posted this article:
This week insanely fast shooting chaos returns to the PS2 with Chaos Field New Order. Lightening fast reflexes and a steady head are needed to dodge your way through the swarms of bullets heading towards you here. Using a slash move however lets you counter certain types of enemy fire, and as you can see from the boss in the movie below, this is used to add brilliant new play styles to the classic genre. With varied attacks, lock-on weapons, plenty of power-ups and a special attack meter, there's a lot of depth to be found in this shmup.
Furthermore you can choose from three different characters, Hal and his balanced ship, Ifumi with her focus on better reinforcement and maneuverability, or Jinn whose prototype ship may be slower, but packs a lot more punch. Extra innovations come into play with the ability to switch between two fields. Rather than just move around the flat screen, you can come up to a higher field where there's often more items, or down below where you can get a better shot at your attackers, but of course they get a better shot at you too. Not to say you'll be safe up top that is, and sometimes you'll fight two bosses at once, one on each field. Fans of these action packed shooters will find everything they love here, but beyond that, a whole lot more too.

In its apparently ongoing bid for omnipresence, the Sims franchise is set to debut on the PSP next month, as Electronic Arts today announced that The Sims 2 has gone gold for Sony's handheld.
Already available on the PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and mobile phones, The Sims 2 is set to ship for the PSP December 13. While it's built around the series' formula of balancing a simulated person's wants, needs, and motives, the PSP Sims 2 has a few exclusive features. The game is set in the unusual Sim city of Strangetown, and features five new neighborhoods and 20 locations built specifically for this edition of the game.

Sony have done it again and released a new firmware update, is this because of the rumours of the exploit in v2.50 or some great new feature

Sony has released an update to the PSP’s firmware. The new version, v2.6, adds support for the WMA codec in Music, RSS feeds in the web browser — including podcasts, and downloads of video data that supports copyright protection (via the browser).

Edisoncarter has released a trainer for GTA: LCS (North American version)!
Here is some detailed info of this trainer:
Here it is! The first and only cheat device for Liberty City Stories!
I implemented a few basic cheats to start with. There's much more to come!
Infinite Health and Armor
Set Wanted Level
Set Time
Set Weather
Spawn Anything
Yes, the Hunter is in the game! To fire the chain gun, press SQUARE+X. Be careful with the spawn choices, some of the silly stuff to spawn like Ferry, Train, and the later Dodo choices will crash your game. Dodo 164 is the one that works. I left the full list in so people can have their own go at trying it. Maybe the boat spawns only work near water, for instance.
I don't have a UK/Euro version yet. I have to wait for the UK copy I ordered from Lik-Sang.
It looks like this currently only works on FW 2.0. So far everyone trying it on 2.5 is reporting failure. Someone who has FW 2.01 needs to try it. I should be able to fix it for 2.5 in a future version.
Unzip the archive to your memory card so the files go in PSP/SAVEDATA/ULUS10041S0. This replaces the first save on the card.
To start CheatDevice, simply load it like a saved game. Do not load CheatDevice again when it's already running! Your game will probably crash!
You're supposed to be able to load another game save while CheatDevice is running, but it sometimes crashes. At least you can load the CheatDevice save and play around in there. For me at least, I can load another game save once after loading CheatDevice, then if I need to load again, I press L1+R1+UP to unload it, then load it again.
Disclaimer: THIS CAN CRASH YOUR GAME, SO USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Don't use this for doing missions or when you're planning to save your game.

Vivendi has released three new trailers for the PSP version of Crash Tag Team Racing - and they're now available for download.
CTTR is being brought to you by Radical Entertainment, the studio behind The Simpsons: Hit and Run, and features on-foot exploration as well as plenty of combat racing action.
Just as in the PS2 game (which we reviewed earlier this month), CTTR has a unique "clashing" system which lets you fuse your car with an opponents in the middle of a race. Then you can choose whether to stay in the driver's seat, or take over weapon duties and blam your way across the finishing line.
The PSP version has a wireless co-op mode plus a tournament mode, where each player competes alone in a series of races and the overall winner is determined at the end.
Crash Tag Team Racing PSP is out today.
